Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare two techniques for valve-sparing root replacement in patients with aortic root aneurysm: aortic root remodelling and aortic valve reimplantation, utilizing a multicenter approach and propensity-score matching.* -
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 2010 to 2021, selecting pairs of patients who underwent either technique to evaluate perioperative outcomes and long-term valve function.* -
- Findings indicated that while there were no significant differences in short-term outcomes, patients who underwent remodelling faced a higher risk of needing further interventions compared to those who had reimplantation, especially if immediate postoperative valve function was suboptimal.*
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare short- and longer-term outcomes of David (DV) versus Florida sleeve (FS) procedure in patients requiring valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
Methods: Between January 1996 and December 2020 285 patients received a DV procedure (median age 60 years; 26% females) and 57 patients underwent an FS procedure (median age 64 years; 19% females) in our department. Propensity score matching using patient characteristics led to 58 (DV) versus 57 (FS) patients.
